Devon (England)
'Living, breathing romance, genuine and unforced pathos, and a
deeper and more subtle knowledge of human nature than Mr. Parker
has ever displayed before. It is, in a word, the work of a true
artist.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
THE BATTLE OF THE STRONG: a Romance of Two Kingdoms.
Illustrated. _Fourth Edition._
'Mr. Gilbert Parker has a master's hand in weaving the threads
of romantic fiction. There is scarcely a single character which
does not convince us.'--_Daily Chronicle._
'Such a splendid story, so splendidly told, will be read
with avidity, and will add new honour even to Mr. Parker's
reputation.'--_St. James's Gazette._
'No one who takes a pleasure in literature but will read Mr.
Gilbert Parker's latest romance with keen enjoyment. The
mere writing is so good as to be a delight in itself, apart
altogether from the interest of the tale.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
'Nothing more vigorous or more human has come from Mr. Gilbert
Parker than this novel. It has all the graphic power of his
last book, with truer feeling for the romance, both of human
life and wild nature. There is no character without its unique
and picturesque interest. Mr. Parker's style, especially his
descriptive style, has in this book, perhaps even more than
elsewhere, aptness and vitality.'--_Literature._
=S. Baring Gould's Novels=
_Crown 8vo. 6s. each._
'To say that a book is by the author of "Mehalah" is to imply
that it contains a story cast on strong lines, containing
dramatic possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of
Nature, and a wealth of ingenious imagery.'--_Speaker._
'That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading,
is a conclusion that may be very generally accepted. His
views of life are fresh and vigorous, his language pointed
and characteristic, the incidents of which he makes use are
striking and original, his characters are life-like, and though
somewhat exceptional people, are drawn and coloured with
artistic force. Add to this that his descriptions of scenes and
scenery are painted with the loving eyes and skilled hands of
a master of his art, that he is always fresh and never dull,
and it is no wonder that readers have gained confidence in his
power of amusing and satisfying them, and that year by year his
popularity widens.'--_Court Circular._
